It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

The idea of the movie isn't so bad, the casting was pretty good, however neither of the actors were very convincing in their roles. Everything was predictable and not much seemed to be happening. The movie title also isn't that great, they could have come up with something more appealing. What I hated most was probably the last 20-30 minutes, when it's all screaming. The boys screaming, Roslyn screaming, Joey screaming... everybody was screaming, crying, it was all just a giant noise pollution. Whenever someone had a line, the screaming was in the background. Worst 20 minutes of my life. I wouldn't recommend this movie, it was a huge disappointment.

Fresh out of high school, Roslyn (an appealing performance by the luscious Alicia Silverstone) and Michael (a likable portrayal by Jared Leto) get married and have a baby, but aren't happy with each other. Things become worse when Roslyn's brash best gal pal Joanie (delightfully played with tart relish by Jennifer Blanc) encourages Roslyn to have an extramarital affair with bad boy Joey (smoothly essayed with cocksure cool by Matthew Flint). Writer/director Ralph Bakshi relates the engrossing story at a brisk pace, offers a flavorsome, yet unsentimental evocation of the 50's period setting, maintains a dark serious tone throughout, and vividly captures a strong mood of despair and restlessness. Moreover, Bakshi doesn't punk out with some kind of fake upbeat ending and does a masterful job with a sequence set on the beach in which Joey seduces Roslyn. Nice supporting contributions from Christine Harnos as sultry beatnik Lorraine, Tuesday Knight as the sassy Brenda, and John Hawkes as the raucous Crazy. Kudos are also in order for the spot-on golden oldies soundtrack and Roberto Schaeffer's vibrant color cinematography. Worth a watch.

Totally mislead, very simple and uninteresting plot. Actually the person who directed and the person who produced this, they ought to be ashamed of themselves. The characters are not well developed and the performances are very poor, and I'm talking about all the actors here, including my beloved Jared Leto, whom I've seen doing a much better job in lots of other roles, even those he performed during the 90's, but I can forgive him for this one because I don't think that with this movie and with this lines he could have done better. Well, wasn't for him I wouldn't have been 90 minutes standing in front of the TV watching this piece of stinky you-know-what.

I sat watching this film waiting for some sort of climax,some clue that they don't think the world revolve's solely around smooth talking, drug dealers and spoilt, young, house wives,something at least to keep me interested. Alas nothing happened...the characters are confusing and the plot takes an average storyline about ten miles too far. I had a sinking feeling after watching this film, i think they call it regret. Regret that i spent an hour and a half watching the worst acting and the worst drawn out, anti-climax of a story ever. I admit a few scenes are interesting such as the one with Joey and Roslyn on the beach, when she just can't refuse his his raw sexual magnetism. Funny stuff! But over all an extreme disappoint.
